   %MATURITY WISE WISDOM AFFECTIVE EMOTIONAL SEXUAL+940827

     There are various kinds of maturity.  The wise person
is  mature  in most of the various kinds of ways in  which
one may be mature.   The wise person is not the person who
has specialized in an exclusive and narrow way, in regards
to growing to maturity.  Some people believe it is good to
be  exclusive  and to avoid experiences which  might  lead
them to  certain kinds of  maturity---they  do  not become
wise so long as they believe in such exclusivity.

     Growing  to maturity in one way does not  necessarily
mean  that  one  is  growing  to  maturity in  the   other
complimentary ways.   The complimentary ways of growing to
maturity   can   in   many   instances   be   independent,
perpendicular  and/or orthogonal to each  other.    Growth
along one way need not imply growth along the other ways.

     Intellectual,    scholarly,   physical  and  business
maturity  do not necessarily imply affective,   emotional,
sexual or spiritual maturity.  They are different kinds of
maturity.    People who are mature in one of   the   above
kinds  may not  even  be  able   to recognize maturity  or
immaturity in one of the other kinds of ways. On the other
hand,  sexual  maturity  most  likely will imply affective
maturity;   but affective maturity  may not  always  imply
sexual maturity.   Sexually mature people are  likely   to
recognize  affective  maturity  or immaturity;   but   the
reverse is less likely to be the case.
